After years of ruthlessly perfecting the natural blush-y cheeks, it seems that the slightly more eccentric look is coming back his autumn. According to François Nars the vibe of 18th century romanticism mixed with a bit of drama is very IN this season. François says that to achieve the correct finish, you have to blend a darker blush very low on your cheeks and this way your face will look thinner and more elongated.

My darlings, do you wear blush daily or just for special occasions? What do you think about this trend? Will you try it? xo

Hmmm.... not sure how I feel about this trend on me. With my complexion and high cheek bones it just might make me look off. My face I think is too commercial. But I love the thought that it stems from the 18th century. Interesting!

It's interesting, but I just don't think it looks very natural with that placement. Maybe if it were still low but more towards the back of the cheeks it'd work as a contour, but there, I'm not so sure about it....

Btw: There is a girl in a cafe next to our flat who wears blush like that and she looks STUNNING. Each time I go in to grab a coffee, I can't get my eyes off her:) Btw: She also always wears a high-bun and cute glasses.

Mmm the models are certainly gorgeous. On certain face shapes I can see it might be great. I already have the thin, slightly elongated face, so I prefer higher placed blush that makes my cheeks look fuller, so this trend isn't for me. I do like that with this trend they've kept the rest of the makeup more subtle.
